Ravenna FC leaves the Altopascio pitch with just one point, after a match dominated for long stretches and full of incidents that leave more than a little regret. Two goals were disallowed for offside in very tight situations, two shots hit the crossbar, and a goal was conceded with an opponent in a questionable position: fortune did not favor the Giallorossi, who now see the gap to the top rise to seven points with four matches remaining.
The start is entirely in Ravenna’s favor: after a few minutes, Di Renzo deflects a cross in the box, narrowly missing the post, then Zagre tries his luck with a right-footed shot that goes over. In the 25th minute, Tau nearly takes the lead by chance, with a cross deflected by the wind that tests Fresia. Ravenna quickly regains control and comes close again with Ilari, whose shot goes just over the bar after a persistent move by Biagi. At the 37th minute comes the first controversial moment: Di Renzo sets up Zagre, who scores, but the play is called off for offside, which appeared to be marginal.
In first-half stoppage time, the Giallorossi create their best chance: Di Renzo coordinates and with a spectacular bicycle kick hits the crossbar, Ilari follows up to score, but again the linesman flags for an irregular position.
The second half opens with the day’s second shot off the crossbar, struck by Esposito in the 47th minute. In the 54th minute, the Giallorossi finally find the deserved lead: Rrapaj serves Calandrini, who with a precise left-footed shot beats Cabella. Ravenna continues to press, and in the 73rd minute Calandrini comes close to doubling the lead with a powerful shot that Tau’s goalkeeper brilliantly saves.
Two minutes later, however, Tau equalizes: on a loose ball in the small area, Andolfi gets the decisive touch. Once again, the attacker’s position seems marginal, but the referee validates the goal.
Ravenna pushes forward in search of a win: Calandrini and Guida try repeatedly, but the Tuscan goal seems cursed. The final whistle confirms a draw that feels unjust to Marchionni’s men, who delivered a generous and proactive performance, perhaps complicating their bid for the top spot once and for all.

Thirtieth matchday of the championship and another away fixture for Ravenna FC, who face Tau Altopascio tomorrow in a clash with high-stakes implications. The Giallorossi, coming off a convincing home victory against Corticella, are called upon to build on that success to stay firmly in the promotion race.

The gap to the top remains five points, with Forlì showing no signs of slowing down, but Ravenna must keep believing until the very end, leaving nothing untried. Tomorrow’s away fixture is a tough one: Tau, currently fourth in the standings, is one of the best-equipped teams in the group and led the table for much of the first part of the season. The Tuscan side boasts the league’s top scorer, Motti, already with 19 goals, and can rely on an experienced and competitive squad.

Adding an extra layer of significance to the clash is the presence on the bench of a former Giallorossi player: Simone Venturi, now Tau’s coach, once wore the Ravenna jersey as a player and is sure to provide plenty of motivation for his team.

Marchionni will have to cope with some significant absences: both Rossetti and Di Renzo will still be unavailable, two key players who are recovering from their respective physical issues. The rest of the squad, however, will be fully available to tackle what promises to be an intense and hard-fought match.

Ravenna, for their part, will be eager to build on the positive signs shown at the Benelli, in a display of strength that revealed a team alive, determined, and capable of responding to adversity. To keep dreams and hopes alive, to stay on the promotion train, and to seize any opportunity that could reopen the race.

Tomorrow, the support of the Giallorossi fans will once again be present: around 300 supporters are expected to travel, ready to make themselves heard and to fill the Tuscan stadium with passion. The bond with the fans continues to prove itself as one of the most powerful driving forces of Ravenna’s season.

Kick-off is scheduled for 3:00 PM: ninety minutes that mean so much, in a season finale full of excitement and stakes.

Despar’s closeness to the world of sports and the values of Ravenna FC translates into a constant commitment to families and young people, supporting not only the first team but also all activities within the youth sector.

To reinforce this bond, on the weekend of April 5th and 6th, during the Giallorossi youth matches at the Fosso Ghiaia sports center, a Despar booth will be present. The initiative will offer gadgets and gifts to the families attending, creating a moment designed to promote participation and sharing, in the true spirit of sport.

“We are very happy to continue supporting Ravenna FC for another year, and as the saying goes, you don’t change a winning team. For us, sport is a crucial part of life and a way to promote fairness, sharing, and a healthy lifestyle,” explains Alessandro Urban, Regional Director of Despar Nord for Emilia-Romagna. “Ravenna, moreover, remains one of our favorite cities, and by the end of 2025 we will open a new store that will be a flagship for our company, in a territory where we want to continue investing. We have actually just launched our recruitment campaign and, staying on theme, we are eager to meet the team of new collaborators.”

Great satisfaction also comes from the club for a partnership that continues to add value to the Giallorossi project:
“We are delighted to continue our journey together with Despar, a partner that over the years has shown great sensitivity to the values of sport and community,” says Paolo Scocco, General Manager of Ravenna FC. “Their support, especially directed toward the families and young players in our youth sector, is a valuable contribution that goes far beyond the sporting aspect. It is a sign of an authentic bond with the territory and a shared vision that puts people and collective growth at the center.”

Ravenna FC thanks Despar for their renewed support and for their tangible commitment to the growth of young players, both on and off the field.

Ravenna FC rediscovers smiles, goals, and confidence. They do it in front of their home crowd, overcoming a resilient Corticella 5-2 and once again showcasing their full attacking potential after the aftermath of the derby. A performance that earns three crucial points, keeping them on the promotion track and keeping every hope alive.

The match starts uphill for the Giallorossi: after just two minutes, Ercolani sends a cross for Rizzi, who immediately tests Fresia. From the rebound, Manara is the quickest and slots home a precise diagonal for 0-1. Ravenna’s response is immediate. In the 11th minute, Biagi plays a deep ball to Di Renzo, who rounds the goalkeeper and calmly finishes into the net.

Ravenna comes close to taking the lead with Guida and then faces a scare in the 29th minute, when Lo Giudice shoots from close range, beats Fresia, but finds Onofri ready to clear off the line. The first half ends 1-1, but it is clear that the pace will not slow down.

The second half opens with the Giallorossi immediately on the front foot: in the 47th minute, a quick throw-in sees Mandorlini reach the byline and lay the ball off to Esposito, who slots it home with precision and runs to celebrate under the Mero stand. The home team also has a chance to seal the game, but Zagre’s break narrowly misses Di Renzo’s touch. Missed goal, conceded goal: in the 65th minute, Manara takes advantage of a defensive hesitation and completes his personal brace, bringing the score back to level.

Ravenna refuses to back down, stepping up the pace and pushing hard. Calandrini and Ilari come close, but it is the substitute Manuzzi, in the 83rd minute, who puts his team ahead again with a precise touch to finish a powerful attacking move.

In the final minutes, Di Renzo takes center stage. In the 89th minute, he completes his personal brace by once again rounding the goalkeeper, and in the 92nd minute he taps in after a header from Manuzzi hits the crossbar, completing his brilliant hat-trick.

It ends 5-2. The gap to Forlì remains unchanged, but Ravenna is there—alive and determined. After the setback in the derby, Marchionni’s boys respond with a display of character, courage, and quality. The end of the season is still completely open.

After the derby defeat, Ravenna FC returns to the field with the goal of getting back on track and leaving nothing untried in the fight for the top. Tomorrow at the Benelli, the Giallorossi will face Corticella in a crucial match to stay close to the top and consolidate their position with an eye on the playoffs.

Forlì’s setback has complicated Marchionni’s boys’ path, now five points behind the league leaders, but the season is far from over and Ravenna must respond strongly. A victory against Corticella is essential to put pressure on the top team and, at the same time, to send a strong message to the fans and to direct rivals in the potential playoff race.

However, difficulties remain for the Giallorossi coach, who will have to cope with some important absences. Rossetti has suffered a flexor issue, and his condition will be assessed in the coming hours, while Nappello has had a muscle relapse and Lo Bosco is carrying minor injuries. None of them will take part in the match. Venturini is also being monitored, dealing with some minor knocks, but he is included in the squad. The team’s spirit will have to prevail over these challenges to face a match that promises to be far from easy.

Facing them is a Corticella side arriving at the Benelli determined to earn valuable points to secure their safety. Nesi’s team, currently outside the relegation zone, knows it cannot afford any lapses in concentration and will look to exploit any uncertainty from the Giallorossi. A match to approach with maximum focus, leaving no room for mental lapses after the derby.

The atmosphere at the Benelli can once again be a key weapon for Ravenna. The passion of the Giallorossi supporters has never been lacking, not even in Forlì, and on a sunny day a strong turnout is expected in the stands. The support of the twelfth man will be crucial in attempting a comeback that looks difficult, but one that must be pursued with determination as long as it remains mathematically possible.

Kick-off is at 3:00 PM, a new time following the switch to daylight saving, for a match in which Ravenna wants to show that they still have a lot to say in this championship.

Ravenna FC is defeated in the derby against Forlì after an intense and hard-fought match. The Giallorossi, despite trying until the very end to snatch a draw, must yield to the Biancorossi, who extend their lead at the top of the standings with this victory.

Ravenna FC falls in the derby against Forlì after a tough and fiercely contested match. The Giallorossi fought until the final whistle to salvage a draw but ultimately had to bow to the Biancorossi, who stretch their lead at the top of the table with this win.

In the second half, Marchionni immediately makes changes, bringing on Guida and Zagre to boost the attacking threat, while Miramari is forced to replace Petrelli with Trombetta. The substitute Trombetta proves decisive straight away: in the 49th minute, he capitalizes on a lethal counterattack, breaks in behind the defense, and beats Fresia to double the lead.
Ravenna does not give up and seeks a response, with Guida coming close in the 65th minute with a right-footed shot that hits the outside of the net. The Giallorossi’s pressure increases, and in the 77th minute, Guida narrows the gap with a precise strike from the edge of the box that finds the bottom corner.
However, hopes of a comeback last only six minutes: in the 83rd minute, former player Macrì pounces on a loose ball in the box and scores from close range to make it 3-1. Ravenna pushes forward again, and in the 87th minute, Di Renzo nets the second goal, skillfully deflecting a curled free-kick from Guida into the net.
In stoppage time, the final chance falls once more to Guida, whose dangerous shot-cross nearly finds the equalizer, but Forlì manages to repel the final assault.

With this defeat, Ravenna sees their hopes of reaching the top of the table diminish, as Forlì now leads by five points with six games remaining. The home team knew how to interpret the match to perfection, proving more reactive and skillful in directing the decisive moments in their favor. Guida’s efforts are not enough for Ravenna, who must come to terms with a bitter loss.
